Customer Reviews

versatile, flavorful, and good

Nice variety of unusual recipes. I found this book when I was looking for Anasazi bean recipes. The Anasazi bean chili I found is the very best veggie chili I have ever tried. It was so good I got a copy of the book, and am I glad I did. The recipes use either canned beans or dried beans. I think using dried beans and good quality spices gives the best results. I wonder if the reviews saying the recipes were bland used canned beans. That said the cowboy chipolte beans are hands down the best baked bean recipe I have ever had, that includes meat recipes. As for high fat, yes some recipes can be. But if you are a full time vegetarian fat is usually not a problem for you. The kidney bean pasta salad using pesto as a dressing was very rich, but with the wheat pasta is was also very filling, so it was hard to over eat. This is a good book for vegetarians looking for more then the usual bean recipes.

My most used bean book

I've used this book for around 10 years. I own a number of bean cook books but this is the one I go back to over and over.

Kitchen Crutch

I've had this book for nearly 2 years and I use a recipe from it at least once a week. I love the wide range of cuisines presented - from Jambalaya to Sambar to Groundnut Stew to Pasta e Fagioli. I haven't tried a recipe, yet, that I didn't like.

Spicy and exciting

These recipes are spicy and exciting -- just the thing to prove that vegetarian food is ANYTHING but boring! I love spicy food but I truly hate dishes that are pure heat with no flavor. Not true of these dishes -- Jay's recipes literally sing with flavor. Wonderful fare!
